Im looking for a place to send a OEM kicker to get chromed. I had one milled down so that it would not scratch my quick change cover and im looking to have it chromed. Any suggestions??

Browns plating in Kentucky does great work and fast turn around . Brownsplating.com specializes in motorcycle chroming

Hey find out from Ben Lagrange, there is someone in Baton Rouge he uses. I think he's called " the chrome man"

i use a place called abel metal processing in Cleveland,ohio (http://www.abelmetal.com). they do bike/car parts as a walk in business (industrial parts as a full time business). here's some of the work i had done. if i recall a kicker was something like $20. of course the more you have chromed the cheaper the prices are. i have a big batch of parts that i'm taking to them in the near future. if you want you can send the kicker my way and i will take care of it (if you can't find someone local to you). turn around time was about 2 weeks (due to the volume of parts that i had done). check out there website. feel free to pm me or email me at:
joseph.ivanac@att.net if you need any help.

ryan: any chrome powder i have ever seen in person looks like a shiny silver.

Glad to know there's someone right here in OH that does good work. I might have some stuff done up there this winter.

What did that charge you for that stuff. Have the same stuff to send them and a little more thanks

Chrome powder looks awful. I have never done it, but my local powder coater showed me a sample and it reminded me of the fake spray paint chrome.

chrome powder looks fine if done properly but don't think of it as chrome.

I use a couple local shops and Steve (Bright-Werx) would be a good option if you're shipping parts.

$70 for the parts shown. I still have a swing arm and some a arms that are being finished up. when I pick up my other stuff I will ask Abel metals to put together a price sheet (individual prices). I tend to get a better price because of the volume of parts and being a repeat customer.
